Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

January 30, 2009 | Facebook and FFcP: Fretboard Yoga for the mandolin

As mentioned, we've witnessed reports of an incredible amount of gracious internet chatter about the FFcP System, and we decided to join the 21st century and start a designated Facebook group, "Fretboard Yoga." If you have a Facebook account be sure to sign up; we're hoping to get participants to post their personal experiences about the benefits of this creative approach to exploring the fretboard.

Join our official Facebook Group!

One common theme we've observed, the physical intensity of the exercises are something you need to start off slowly. With a modicum of discipline and commitment to 8-15 minutes a day, long range results are overwhelmingly impressive. Furthermore, we have yet to hear from anyone who spends more than six weeks on it complain about FFcP being a waste of time.

Facebook, despite some of the recent sensationalized press is a great and safe environment for cyber-gathering. There are enough controls to achieve your preferred level of privacy. The only down side we've experienced is the incredible time suck of bumping in to old high school and college friends along the Information Highway. You can easily lose track of time getting caught up with old (and newfound!) social circles.
